Location Assessment
Christie Duo is a dual-projection integration kit, which assists with the alignment of 2 projectors for
high-brightness 2D and 3D projection on large screens.
This section describes the advantages, disadvantages, and prerequisites for each of the Christie Duo
installation types. It also provides instructions for obtaining theatre measurements. Use this
information to determine which installation type is best-suited for your location.
Installation Configurations
This table describes the four Christie Duo installation options.
Installation Type
Single-Mirror
(90 degrees)
Illustration
Description
The lens of one projector directly faces the screen, while the
second projector lens is positioned at a right angle to the
first projector.
A mirror reflects the image from the second projector to the
screen. The mirror assembly allows two lenses to come
closer together optically, allowing the two images to be
converged across the entire screen.
Vertically Stacked
Both projectors are mounted on a rack stand, one projector
above the other. Both projector lenses point directly at the
screen.
Dual-Mirror
Both projectors are positioned parallel to the wall that
separates the projection room from the theater.
For each projector, a mirror reflects the images from the
projector lenses onto the screen. The mirror assembly allows
two lenses to come closer together optically, allowing the
two images to be converged across the entire screen.
Side-by-Side
Christie Digital recommends against this
configuration. This installation type is not supported
in the user manual.
Both projectors are positioned perpendicular to the wall that
separates the projection room from the theater. Each
projector lens points directly at the screen.

Installation Advantages and Disadvantages
There are advantages and disadvantages to each Christie Duo installation type. It is recommend that
you select the single-mirror installation type. To support RealD XL, the vertically stacked installation
type is recommended.
Installation
Type
Single-Mirror
(90 degrees)
Advantages
Disadvantages
• Access to both projectors for servicing.
• Does not allow for RealD XL.
• Close lens spacing, which benefits 2D
images. For projection onto curved screens,
geometric distortion is minimal.
• Requires extra space at one side of the
projector booth.
• Image warping capability on one projector.
Vertically
Stacked
• Setup is less complicated because there are
no mirrors.
• Easy access to the projector lamp doors.
• Allows for RealD XL, which may be required
to achieve the highest possible 3D brightness
level on the largest screens.
Dual-Mirror
• The lower projector is more difficult to service.
• Lens spacing is a disadvantage for 2D images.
For projection onto curved screens, geometric
distortion is increased.
• No image warping capability.
• The installation requires the least amount of
projection room depth.
• Does not allow for RealD XL.
• Access to both projectors for servicing.
• Lamp replacement in one of the projectors
may be difficult depending on the distance of
the projector from the wall.
• Close lens spacing, which benefits 2D
images. For projection onto curved screens,
geometric distortion is minimal.
• Requires a wide projector booth.
• Easier image warping because there are
twice as many mirror adjustment points.
• Image warping capability on both projectors.
Side-by-Side
• Straightforward to setup because there are
no mirrors.
• Allows for RealD XL, which may be required
to achieve a premium 3D brightness level on
the largest screens.
2
• Lens spacing is a disadvantage for 2D images
and for XpanD 3D. For projection onto curved
screens, geometric distortion is increased.
• Poor access to one projector card cage.
• Poor access to one projector lamp door.

Theater Measurements
Use the information in this section to complete the Worksheet on page 57 at the back of this manual.
With this information, your Christie representative can help determine which installation type is best
suited for your location.
Screen
Christie Duo can be used with flat or curved screens.
Measure the screen width (w) from left to right.
If the screen is curved, measure the distance from the
center of the screen out to the point where the curvature
stops (c).
It is also important to know whether the screen utilizes fixed width or fixed height masking.
Screen Distance from the Port Window
Measure the distance from the center of the screen to the port window.
Do not confuse this measurement with the throw distance, which measures the distance from the
screen to the projector lens.
Calculate Throw Ratio
i
The throw ratio can vary +5% between lenses with the same throw ratio because of varying
focal length tolerances during manufacturing.
Select a lens that completely fills the screen width at both the top and bottom of the screen.
The throw ratio is used to determine the correct lens for the
projector, so that the appropriate minimum and maximum
image size is obtained.
Calculate the throw ratio (t) of your theater, by dividing the
throw distance (d) by the screen width (w):
t = d / w
The throw distance is measured from the screen to the
projector lens. If the projector is tilted in relation to the
screen, measure the smallest measurement between the
screen and the projector.
For example, if the distance from the top edge of the lens to the top of the screen is less than the
distance from the bottom edge of the lens to the bottom of the screen, the distance to the top of the
screen is used.

Location Assessment
Calculate Clear Aperture
i
Beveled wall edges help minimize image obstruction and increase clear aperture.
Port glass size is a determining factor when considering
Christie Duo installation types because this effects the clear
aperture (a).
As illustrated, when an image is projected from the projector
it is cone-shaped. The wall on either side of the port window
can obstruct an image that is not positioned correctly.
Measure Obstructed View Width
1. Hold a tape measure against the right side of the port window, as flush with the wall as possible.
2. With one eye close to the tape measure, slowly move from the right to the left of the port window
until you have an unobstructed view of the screen edge.
3. Note the earliest distance at which you can view the screen edge.
For example, if you start at 0 in. (0 cm) and move to the right until the right edge of the screen
is in clear view at 3 in., write down 3 in. (7.5 cm).
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the left side of the port window, but move from left to right.

1. Extend a tape measure up from the bottom of the port window, as flush with the wall as possible.
2. With one eye close to the tape measure, slowly move from the bottom to the top of the port
window until you have an unobstructed view of the bottom of the screen.
3. Note the earliest distance at which you can see the screen.
For example, if you start at 0 in. (0 cm) and move up until the bottom edge of the screen is in
clear view at 4 in., write down 4 in. (10 cm)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the top of the port window, but move from the top to the bottom.
Calculate the Clear Aperture Width
1. Measure the width of the port window.
2. Subtract the right and left obstructed view width from the port window width.
For example; if the port window is 30 in. (76 cm) wide and the left and right measurements were
both 3 in. (7.5 cm), the clear aperture width is 24 in. (61 cm).
Calculate the Clear Aperture Height
1. Measure the height of the port window.
2. Subtract the top and bottom obstructed view height from the port window height.
For example; if the port window is 25 in. (63.5 cm) tall, the top measurement is 4 in. (10 cm)
and the bottom measurement is 3 in. (7.5 cm), the clear aperture height is 18 in. (46 cm).

Failure to comply with these warnings could result in death or serious injury:
• Use of the projector’s rear safety strap is mandatory to prevent the projector from
tipping.
• If you are installing Christie CP42LH projectors in a Christie adjustable rack stand with
Christie Duo mirrors and brackets the installation of floor anchor brackets is mandatory.
When installing the floor anchor brackets follow all local building codes. Make sure the
fasteners used to secure the floor anchor brackets are firmly attached to the building
structure and can support the rack stand, projector, and Christie Duo mirrors and
brackets.
The front-to-back and side-to-side tilt of the projector must not exceed 10 degrees. This limit
ensures safe lamp operation and proper positioning of the liquid cooling reservoir. Failure to
comply may result in property damage.
1. Loosen the lock nut using a 3/4 in. or 19 mm wrench.
2. Adjust the vertical position of the projector.
Turn the adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector
clockwise or counter-clockwise 1/8th of a turn at a time to
extend or retract them.
When two or more feet are adjusted at once, always adjust
them the same amount. This keeps equal weight
distribution on all feet for stability.
Use the two foot adjustment tools, one on each of two
parallel projector feet, to help with foot adjustments.
3. Adjust the horizontal position of the projector as in step 2.
4. Verify that the image is centered and parallel with the top of the screen. If additional
adjustments are required, repeat steps 1 and 2.
5. Adjust lens offset, rather than extra projector tilt, if vignetting is not observed.

Installation and Setup
Align the Image
i
This procedure can be done electronically using the intelligent lens system (ILS). If the ILS is
used; save the X and Y image co-ordinates, zoom, and focus settings to an ILS file, and call
the ILS file up in the channels. See your projector user manual.
Images reflected from the digital micromirror device (DMD) must be parallel to and centered with the
lens and screen. Align the image before adjusting the lens or boresight.
1. Verify that all 12 mirror actuators are loose.
2. Open the douser.
3. Project a full screen test pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry.
For 2K projectors, use a 2K test pattern. For 4K projectors, use a 4K test pattern.
For example, a red and green framing test pattern. Use the red test pattern for the lower
projector (left eye) and the green for the upper (right eye).
4. Perform a preliminary focus and zoom adjustment using the lens. Only the center of the test
pattern must be in focus.
5. Center the image in the lens.
Hold a piece of paper in front of the lens. Adjust the image offset until the image is centered
within the lens perimeter.
See Lens Mount Components on page 24.
6. Loosen the 6 mirror assembly arm bolts.
7. Confirm that the image is completely on the mirror. If required, slide the mirror assembly forward
and back along the arm until the image is not clipped.
8. Vertically align the image.
Extend or retract the 2 adjustable projector feet farthest from the port window. Keep the
projector weight balanced on all 4 feet during this process.
9. Verify side-to-side levelling.

i
Operate the projector for ≥20 minutes (with the framing test pattern displayed on each
projector) before completing this procedure. The projector warm up period allows the
projector image to stabilize.
1. Aim the lower projector to the left or right of the screen until the image is centered on the
screen.
Do not adjust the lens offset until the image is centered in the lens horizontally.
2. Turn the vertical lens offset adjustment knob until the image is centered
between the top and the bottom of the screen.
See Lens Mount Components on page 24.
See Image Alignment Troubleshooting on page 49.
3. If vignetting occurs during step 2, turn the vertical lens offset adjustment
counter-clockwise until vignetting disappears and then turn one additional full rotation for
margin.
4. If required, zoom the image in or out. Maintain a full screen width image with a 2-5% overscan.
5. Extend or retract the 2 adjustable projector feet farthest from the port window, to center the
image on the screen.
Always adjust the feet an equal amount.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the upper projector. Align the upper projector to the lower projector as
much as possible; this an initial alignment that is fine-tuned later.
Aim for the projectors to be as precisely parallel (horizontal and vertical) as possible. This makes
additional alignment steps much easier.
Adjust the DMD Convergence
Make sure the DMDs within each projector are converged.
See your projector manual for DMD convergence instructions.

Installation and Setup
Adjust the Boresight
Boresight adjustment is an iterative process. It is recommended that you alternate between
horizontal and vertical boresight adjustment.
i
Horizontal and vertical boresight adjustment aligns the projector lens, so the optical axis is precisely
perpendicular to the digital image produced by the projector light engine. This process is required to
achieve a uniformly-sharp and evenly-focused image on the screen.
Adjust the Horizontal Boresight
1. Loosen the horizontal boresight locking bolt.
See Lens Mount Components on page 24.
2. Display the DC2K or DC4K framing test pattern.
For 2K projectors, use a 2K test pattern. For 4K projectors, use a 4K test pattern.
3. Adjust the focus until the left edge of the test pattern is focused.
4. Check the focus of the test pattern on the right edge of the screen. If the test pattern is:
•
not in focus, continue to step 5.
•
in focus, continue to step 8.
5. Slowly retract the lens focus, to determine where the lens is focusing.
If the right side of the test pattern:
•
comes into focus before the lens is completely retracted, the right
side of the image is focusing in front of the screen. Adjust the
horizontal boresight adjustment bolt to direct or aim the lens mount
toward the right. Balance the focus between the left and right edges
of the test pattern.
•
fails to come into focus, the right side of the image is focusing
behind the screen. Adjust the horizontal boresight adjustment bolt to direct or aim the lens
mount toward the left. Balance the focus between the left and right edges of the test
pattern.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until both sides of the image are focused.
7. Tighten the horizontal boresight lock bolt.
8. Confirm that focus is maintained on the left and right of the screen.

For 2K projectors, use a 2K test pattern. For 4K projectors, use a 4K test pattern.
3. Adjust the focus until the top edge of the test pattern is in focus.
4. Check the focus of the test pattern on the bottom edge of the screen. If the test pattern is
•
not in focus, continue to step 5.
•
in focus, continue to step 8.
5. Slowly retract the lens, to determine where the lens is focusing.
If the bottom edge of the test pattern:
•
comes into focus before the lens is completely retracted, the
bottom edge of the image is focusing in front of the screen. Adjust
the vertical boresight adjustment bolt to direct or aim the lens
mount down. Balance the focus between the top and bottom edges
of the test pattern.
•
fails to come into focus, the bottom edge of the image is focusing
behind the screen. Adjust the vertical boresight adjustment bolt to direct or aim the lens
mount up. Balance the focus between the top and bottom edges of the test pattern.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until both sides of the image are focused.
7. Tighten the vertical boresight lock bolt.
8. Confirm that focus is maintained on the top and bottom of the screen.

Installation and Setup
Adjust the Keystone
Horizontal and vertical keystone adjustment aligns the projector body, so that geometric distortion is
removed from the projected image. The image is always larger on the side of the screen that the
projector is farther from. For example, if the projector is pointing more to the right side of the
screen, the left side of the image will be larger.
Adjust the Horizontal Keystone
1. Display a green framing test pattern on the right eye (upper) projector, and a red test pattern on
the left eye projector.
For 2K projectors, use a 2K test pattern. For 4K projectors, use a 4K test pattern.
The left eye projector (projecting the red test pattern) will be the fixed projector.
2. Verify that both projectors are level.
See Level the Projector on page 23.
3. Use the binoculars to note the unfixed projector’s horizontal keystone. Look at the vertical lines
near the projection lens axis to identify their offset.
For example:
See Image Alignment Troubleshooting on page 49.
4. Rotate the rear of the projector to the right or left until the vertical lines are as equally offset as
possible.
5. Turn the horizontal lens offset knob, to bring the vertical lines closer
together, and then determine if more or less projector rotation is required.
You may also need to slightly re-zoom the lens to match image sizes.

Installation and Setup
Adjust the Vertical Keystone
1. Verify that the horizontal keystone adjustments are accurate.
2. Note the unfixed projector’s vertical keystone, by looking at the horizontal lines near the
projection lens axis.
If the vertical lines of the framing pattern on the extreme left and right side are not perfectly
parallel, tilt the image up or down.
For example:
See Image Alignment Troubleshooting on page 49.
3. Extend or retract the 2 adjustable projector feet
that are farthest from the port window, to adjust
the horizontal lines.
Always adjust the feet an equal amount.
Aim for all horizontal lines to be as equally offset
as possible.
4. Turn the vertical lens offset knob, to bring the horizontal lines closer together, then determine if
the projector needs to be raised or lowered more. You may also need to re-zoom the lens to
match image sizes.

020-100978-04 Rev. 1 (07-2015)
Installation and Setup
Adjust the Mirror
Mirror adjustment is required to remove the small
image curve from the bottom edge of a curved
screen.
1. Identify the corner of the mirror that
requires adjustment. For example, adjust
the lower left side of the mirror if correction
is required on the lower left side of the
screen.
2. Slightly adjust the appropriate mirror
actuator.
When you adjust a mirror actuator,
pressure is exerted on the three spring
washer adjusters in an equal an opposite way. This may appear as though boresight and
keystone require adjusting, but do not adjust these.
Be patient and only make small iterative adjustments.
In the dual-mirror installation, the full adjustment is shared between the two mirrors.
3. Determine which actuators (of the remaining 11) need to be adjusted, so that they touch the
mirror pads. These adjustments compensate for the previously adjusted corner and bring all
other areas of the mirror back into alignment. This places the mirror back to an almost flat
position.
4. If you cannot achieve alignment, loosen all 12 actuators and repeat steps 1 to 3.
5. Adjust all remaining actuators until they slightly touch the mirror pads. This helps to prevent the
loss of alignment during mirror cleaning.
6. Tighten the lock nuts to prevent the actuators from vibrating loose.
7. Re-check image alignment, to verify that a curved image is not projected.
Verify Image Alignment
Verify the optics of the two projectors; the images of the two projectors should overlay one another
as precisely as possible. With a typical curved screen, aim for an overlay accuracy of approximately
0.5 pixels at the center and 1-2 pixels at the edges on a 4K projector.
Tighten the lock nut on all projector feet when adjustments are finalized.

Problem
The CCD camera is not detected.
Resolution
• Verify that the cable is connected to the CCD camera and to the computer.
Make sure the USB cable is not connected to the USB3 port on the
computer.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the CCD camera and reconnect it.
• Disconnect the USB cable from the computer and reconnect it.
• Restart the DuoAlign user interface.
The alignment (dot) test pattern is
not projected onto the screen
during the dot detection procedure.
• Verify that test patterns are loaded onto the projector.
• Verify that the name of the test pattern configured in the DuoAlign
software matches the name of the test pattern used by the projector.
• Verify that all projector IP addresses are correct.
• Verify that DuoAlign is connected to the projectors. Select Alignment
from the Test Pattern list of the fixed projector. Verify that the test
pattern correctly displays. Repeat for each unfixed projector.
The alignment (dot) test pattern is
projected onto the screen, but a dot
does not appear on the DuoAlign
display.
• Verify that the cable is correctly connected to the CCD camera and to the
computer. Reconnect the CCD camera to the computer.
The alignment (dot) test pattern is
projected and viewed correctly, but
a red circle does not consistently
appear around the dot.
• Adjust the CCD camera aperture and focus to clarify the dot. Make sure
the dot consistency gauge reads Good before attempting an alignment.
See Adjust the CCD Camera Aperture and Focus on page 45.
• Verify that the dot is within the view of the CCD camera. Display a
verification test pattern and adjust the CCD camera until the pattern is
roughly centered in the DuoAlign display. See Aim the CCD Camera on
page 45.
• If possible, reduce the ambient light.
• Turn off any booth lights that may be causing a reflection in the port glass.
The projectors appear to be
misaligned after the alignment is
complete.
• Check the DuoAlign user interface for any error messages, or send the
(DUO+VEST?) automation command to query for an error message.
• Verify that the red circle consistently appears around the dot on the
DuoAlign user interface during alignment.
• Verify that the dot consistency gauge consistently reads Good on the
DuoAlign user interface.
• Verify that no ambient light or reflections interfere with the alignment.
• Verify that there is sufficient time for the projectors to display the test
patterns. See Configure the Test Pattern Transition Delay on page 44.
